1 hr confidence:
chronologically correlated Explanation: In drawings hinting at a chronological correlation, for example the series of motifs featuring "costumes", we find evidence of the use of identical or uniformly composed drawing media and/or the same or similar paper stock. Of course, the question is what are 'einheitlich zusammengesetzte Zeichenmittel.'? Are they drawing utensils or surfaces/substrates on which the drawing is done? I suspect they may mean recurring shapes/symbols that some painters use (e.g. Klee's stick figures or Matisse's arabesques). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2013-05-01 15:47:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If the Zeichenmittel are indeed (various) inks, I'd call them 'uniformly *constituted* media instead of 'composed' |

etiological contexts Explanation: Would be the "academic" equivalent, actually also in German. There is that element of unneeded pomposity, which indeed one might wish to avoid. |
